I don’t think Gus Edwards has much long-term value but for the rest of this fantasy season, what are people’s thoughts on him?
Given his remaining schedule (Oakland, Atlanta, KC, Tampa, Chargers - all green matchups except Chargers), the fact that he got a full workload right after his bye along with Alex Collins’ JAG status, I’m thinking this dude can be a top 10 RB down the stretch and potential league winner. What are people’s thoughts?

Re: Gus Edwards - this year’s Kenyan Drake/Jamaal Williams/Dion Lewis?
I'm not sure he qualifies for that after one game. All 3 of those you mentioned all had long stretches throughout the season of high end success. If he continues to put up 20/100/1 for the rest of year yea sure but if not he's not even in the same category of potential busts like those guys

Re: Gus Edwards - this year’s Kenyan Drake/Jamaal Williams/Dion Lewis?
He's probably a very similar talent to Williams, more raw but also much larger and powerful.
He's far less talented than Lewis or Drake.
It all comes down to whether or not the coaching staff decides to ignore Collins going forward, which would be... odd, to say the least. Collins is no transcendent talent, but Gus the bus definitely isn't either.

Re: Gus Edwards - this year’s Kenyan Drake/Jamaal Williams/Dion Lewis?
To be clear, I don’t think this dude has any long term staying power after this year. What I’m saying is it’s not out of the question for a no name RB to produce top end numbers for 4-6 games.Titans95 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 21, 2018 3:25 pm I'm not sure he qualifies for that after one game.

Re: Gus Edwards - this year’s Kenyan Drake/Jamaal Williams/Dion Lewis?
What would you be willing to pay for him? Assuming he's usuable RB3/Flex...worth gambling a 3rd?
Re: Gus Edwards - this year’s Kenyan Drake/Jamaal Williams/Dion Lewis?
While his schedule is a joke for the rest of season I would be shocked if he continues to put up solid numbers. There's a reason why pro-offenses don't just put a running back in at quarter back and run zone reads all game, 1 week of tape is all it'll take for a professional level defense to shut that down and force Jackson to be a real QB.ajf235 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 21, 2018 6:26 pmTo be clear, I don’t think this dude has any long term staying power after this year.

Also depending on if Flacco comes back then they will most likely go back to Collins
Re: Gus Edwards - this year’s Kenyan Drake/Jamaal Williams/Dion Lewis?
The Ravens have absolutely no loyalty or reason to have any loyalty to Alex Collins. He’s a fifth round pick they got off waivers who’s averaging 3.6 ypc and hasn’t had over 100 yards all season. Now Gus comes in and gets over 100 yards and >5 ypc in his first start. I’m not saying he’s a transcendent talent or future star. I’m just saying that it’s not like Alex Collins is a potential franchise player that they invested a lot of capital into who’s underperforming (a la Dalvin Cook). They have absolutely no reason to stick with him. And the fact that Gus’s breakout came after the bye suggests this breakout was planned rather than simply the hot hand.lukkynumber13 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 21, 2018 5:13 pm He's probably a very similar talent to Williams, more raw but also much larger and powerful.

Re: Gus Edwards - this year’s Kenyan Drake/Jamaal Williams/Dion Lewis?
How is Drake lumped into this?
Despite Gase’s idiotic decision to give Gore more touches than Drake; Drake is still the #15 ranked RB in a PPR.

I mean Drake from late in the 2017 season when he was a top 10 RB over the final 4-5 weeks of the season and probably helped a bunch of people in their stretch run.Forza_Azzurri wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 4:59 pm How is Drake lumped into this?

Re: Gus Edwards - this year’s Kenyan Drake/Jamaal Williams/Dion Lewis?
If you can play Gus at a FLEX and are fine with 7-11 points, go for it. I don't think he's a starter on a team making a run in the playoffs.
Re: Gus Edwards - this year’s Kenyan Drake/Jamaal Williams/Dion Lewis?
Hey now, some of us had Hunt, Conner, and Kerryon on our playoff squads and are just looking for any body with the ball in his hands at this pointDuke Nuk’em wrote: ↑Thu Nov 29, 2018 8:27 pm If you can play Gus at a FLEX and are fine with 7-11 points, go for it.

Re: Gus Edwards - this year’s Kenyan Drake/Jamaal Williams/Dion Lewis?
Losing Hunt was absolutely brutal, luckily I had Ekeler and was able to pick up Jeff Wilson to throw into my flex spots, barely squeaked by and am in the championship! unfortunately Gordon is probably coming back so ekeler is done but hopefully I will have Kerryon back even though the matchup is not ideal.Vcize wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 10:01 amHey now, some of us had Hunt, Conner, and Kerryon on our playoff squads and are just looking for any body with the ball in his hands at this pointDuke Nuk’em wrote: ↑Thu Nov 29, 2018 8:27 pm If you can play Gus at a FLEX and are fine with 7-11 points, go for it.
